NE27 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Good start to the window by villa this, impressive business. There is a good chance with the right investment to mix in the chasing pack I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Coutinho, Kamara, Carlos, Buendia, Martinez, Cash, Digne is some serious strength in the first team IMO. Right now we are a couple of players behind that with Joelinton, Trippier, Wilson, Bruno and ASM. Significantly better manager though.

Well yeah I hope all the other 19 clubs crash if we're being reductive. Realistically us and Villa are the only two who might do it and breaking that structure is good for the league imo.

Emotic Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I hope our Board is taking a look at Villa and the speed and efficiency at which they close deals. The quicker players are signed, the quicker they can bed in. That said, I hope the calmness about our approach speaks to really meticulous planning to get the right profiles analysed and scouted to “buy right, buy once”. Awfully jealous of Villa’s hauls these past days though, not gonna lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt arsed about Diego Carlos either. Rather Botman. Glad someone said it! Be interesting to see their accounts next few years. They were sailing close to the wind re FFP in January from what I remember. Edited May 26, 2022 by DoricGinola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's full of attacking talent and now they're tightening up the defence. Still they'll be hard to beat next season under Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Gerrard is the huffy faux-disciplinarian who will lose the dressing room if they hit a bad patch of form imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Very impressive from Villa. Has to be said, still don't think Gerrard is man to get best out of them, but admire their determination and haste at getting deals done for quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success at Rangers then absolutely blows up in the Premier League, maybe nicking the odd League Cup at one of his five clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Bit harsh on Gerrard some of this stuff. His training methods are miles off the traditional British managers - for a start, we've got a huge coaching staff (you may recall Danny Murphy scoffing at the fact we have a dedicated set piece coach on MOTD) and use stats and analytics massively. He's miles away from MON with his bibs and cones or Bruce. Based on his time with us, the season since his joining date, we'd be 9th. I am still undecided on him, but if there's any doubt, it's not around him being the typical English manager of days gone by - he's no Souness.
